Selamat Menyambut Maulidur Rasul (Prophet Muhammad's Birthday)

Michael HartThe 100, A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons In History
New York, 1978.

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world’s most
influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by
others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful
on both the secular and religious level. It is this unparalleled
combination of secular and religious influence which I feel entitles
Muhammad to be considered the most influential single figure in human
history".

Sir George Bernard ShawThe Genuine Islam
Vol. 1 No. 8, 1936.

“I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation
because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears
to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of
existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him -
the wonderful man and in my opinion for from being an anti-Christ, he
must be called the Savior of Humanity."

"I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship
of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way
that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have
prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to
the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe
of today.”

“I wanted to know the best of the life of one who holds today an
undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind, I became more
than ever convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam
in those days in the scheme of life.”

“It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the
Prophet the scrupulous regard for pledges, his intense devotion to his
friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute
trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried
everything before them and surmounted every obstacle. When I closed the
second volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not
more for me to read of that great life.”
